No Doubt About It: Matt Cassel is Chiefs Starter

Without a doubt, Matt Cassel will be the Chiefs starting quarterback this season.

Not that there was any question, but the Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback in 2010 will be Matt Cassel.

Despite a lackluster 2009 debut season with the Chiefs, the starting job “unequivocally” belongs to Cassel according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star.

With a revamped coaching staff that includes new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis who previously worked with Cassel in New England.

Weis’ goal is to fine-tune his throwing motion and decision-making.

If Cassel continues to struggle Brodie Coyle is waiting in the wings.

The Chiefs don’t want that to happen, however, as Tom Brady’s former backup will earn a base salary of $11.75 million this season.
